Answer:

The force of the radiation on the surface is  3.33 X 10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of light, I = 1 kw/m²

area of the surface, A = 1 cm² = 1 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Power of the incident light, P = I x A

Power of the incident light, P = (1 kw/m²) x (1 x 10⁻⁴ m²)

Power of the incident light, P = 1 x 10⁻⁴ kW = 0.1 W

Power of the incident light is given by;

P = Fv

where;

F is the force of the radiation on the surface

v is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

F = P/ v

F = (0.1) / (3 x 10⁸)

F = 3.33 X 10⁻¹⁰ N

Therefore, the force of the radiation on the surface is  3.33 X 10⁻¹⁰ N

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experi
melomori [17]

Complete Question:

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experiences the smallest drop in temperature, and which one experiences the largest drop? Sample A: 4.0 kg of water [c = 4186 J/(kg·C°)] Sample B: 2.0 kg of oil [c = 2700 J/(kg·C°)] Sample C: 9.0 kg of dirt [c = 1050 J/(kg·C°)]

Answer:

A. Smallest B. Largest.

Explanation:

Assuming no heat exchange except for the heat removed from any sample (which we know is the same for the three ones), and that the process is done using only conduction, we can use the equation that relates the heat lost or gained by one object, with the mass of the object and the consequent change in temperature, as follows:

Q = c*m*ΔT, where c, is a proportionality constant called specific heat, which is different for each material.

As we know that the heat removed is the same for the three samples, we can equate the right sides of the equation for each sample, as follows:

cw*mw*ΔTw = co*mo*ΔTo = cd*md*ΔTd

Replacing by the givens, we have:

4.0 kg. 4,186 J/kgºC*ΔT(ºC) = 2.0 kg*2,700 J/kgºC*ΔT(ºC) =9.0kg*1,050J/kgºC*ΔT(ºC)

As the three expressions must be equal each other, it's clear that the unknown term (the drop in temperature) must compensate the product of the mass times the specific heat.

This product is the following for the three samples:

Water: 4.0 kg*4,186 J/kgºC = 16,744 J/ºC

Oil : 2.0 kg*2,700 J/kgºC    = 5,400 J/ºC

Dirt: 9.0 * 1,050 J/kgºC        = 9,450 J/ºC

Clearly, we see that in order to keep the heat exchange equations equal each other, the water must suffer the smallest drop in temperature, and the oil must experience the largest one.

So, the sample A experiencies the smallest drop in temperature, and sample B does the largest one.

A race car has a centriple acceleration of 15.625 m/s as it goes around a curve if the curve is a circle with radius 40 m what’s
Elanso [62]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the square of the tangential velocity divided by the radius.

a = v² / r

15.625 m/s² = v² / (40 m)

v² = 625 m²/s²

v = 25 m/s

The speed of the car is 25 m/s.

A person walks 25 m east 35 m north 25 me west and 5 m south. What's the distance traveled?
Zolol [24]
With these questions, drawing it out would always help, the answer for this would be 90m if you add them all up. If it’s displacement, it would be 30m. But since it’s asking for the distance TRAVELED then it’s 90m

ANSWER: 90m
